Another Pootlers new catalogue blog hop! This time its the 2022 January to June Mini Catalogue. I love this new catalogue – I’d like to own every set in it! It’s no secret that I love butterflies and bees so i was excited when i saw this set with the bees.

Most of what I have used here is from Heart and Home Suite but I have also used some dies from Tropical Layers Dies and a piece of the Layering Designs vellum.

InspireINK Bloghop July 2020 Theme: In Colours. 12 x 12 inch full sheet stamping with Celebrating Sunflowers, Peaceful Poppies and Beautiful Friendship #stampinup

Welcome to the InspireINK Blog Hop for June 2020. The Theme this month is this years new In colours. I absolutely adore this group of colours and they work so well together as a palette.

This project is heavily inspired by Ruth from Artfulstampin with Ruth – I will link to Ruth at the bottom of this post after the blog hop links.

I have taken a 12 x 12 sheet of card stock and stamped in a wreath shape. This is my first attempt at doing a full sheet of stampin on 12 x 12 inch cardstock. I stamped with the intention of cutting this up. I have used several stamp sets but the only colours I have used are the 2020 -2022 In Colours. I have used quite a few different stamp sets but you can do something similar using stamps you already have.

Once I was finished stamping I cut the sheet into 4inch squares. and made nine cards.

Each card base is made from a piece of cardstock 5.5 inches x 11 inches and scored at 5.5 inches on the long side when folded on that score you have a 5.5 inch square card base.

one layer of Designer Series paper 5.25 inches square

a layer of In colour card stock 4.25 inch square

I matt and layered up the cards decorating each one with ribbon, enamel dots and sentiments as I thought appropriate at the time. The picture above shows how the bits of my sheet matched up and the picture below shows the cards the right way round as i decided to use each piece. All in all I really enjoyed this project and I am really pleased with the results. Of all the cards I like the middle one the best – which one do you think is best? Please let me know in the comments. 3 people will be chosen at random from the comments and i will send them one of these cards.

Please get a cuppa annd come enjoy our hop – I can’t wait to see the inspiring projects my fellows will have for us. Click below to be amazed!

InspireInk Bloghop May 2019 Retiring Set – Dragonfly Dreams

So this month’s InspireInk theme is retiring favourites. I have a lot of favourites from last year’s catalogue so it was quite hard to narrow down my choices.

I am sad to say goodbye to this lovely paper – I have gone through several packs of it this year. I have also loved Dragonfly Dreams stamp and die set – dragonflies are amazing insects and so are bees. Although it is hard to say goodbye to some fabulous sets I am really excited to share this year’s Annual Catalogue it is so full of gorgeousness!

Please come back tomorrow to see a method video for this card. Please click below to see what my blog buddies have done – I know there will be some amazing ideas here for you. Please encourage us by leaving us some comments we really appreciate your support.

Inspired Ink Bloghop – Embossed Anniversary with Stampin’ Up! Best Birds

Here we are with the July blog hop already. This month’s theme was chosen by Sally – it’s Embossed Anniversary. I thought of these love birds right away because i love the best birds set and knew it would be perfect for embossing. This theme has provoked special memories for me as today 28th July 2018 would have been Mum and Dad’s 62nd wedding anniversary unfortunately Dad died 35 years ago. We were always on our summer holidays somewhere in South of England in our handmade caravan when their anniversary came round, so lots of fond memories. This one’s for you Dad – miss you loads.

I made the card above for this hop and then I filmed the method when making the one below.

Measurements

The base card is an A4 sheet cut in half long ways and folded in half.

The first layer is 14.4cm x 10.1cm

The top layer is 14cm x 9.7cm

I used the large ‘hessian’ like stamp to give a textured background then stamped the branch where i wanted it. The birds and sentiment were stamped with versamark and heat embossed with gold or silver. The images were coloured using wink of stella and my chosen ink colours.

Please click on the ‘next’ button to see what my lovely friend Jill from Paperdaisycrafting.co.uk has made.
